We've found our Windows 7 systems are reliable about obtaining kerberos tickets when users login at our site (all user accounts are authenticated against an MIT kerberos KDC during login).

Obtaining AFS tokens at the same time is not as reliable. Going into Network Identity Manager and renewing credentials typically will obtain tokens. Running aklog will obtain tokens. 90-95% of the time tokens are obtained. This is with HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\NetworkProvider\LogonOptions set to "0".

I'm experimenting with setting the LogonOptions setting to "1" to see if that clears up this issue. If having LogonOptions set to "1" is still necessary to reliably get AFS tokens generated at login time, I'm surprised we saw it work so often in the past with this registry key set to "0".

Any other suggestions to ensure users receive AFS tokens at login time?
